Solar storms and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can disrupt everything from satellites to power grids. A new AI tool, ...

Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

Our Sun may appear calm from Earth’s vantage point, but the space surrounding it is a tumultuous environment. Recent studies, such as one led by the team at theLeibniz Institute for Astrophysics ...

NASA has always made it a point to encourage us citizen scientists to lend them a hand. Right now, they could really use your help protecting Earth against waves of punishing, disruptive solar winds.

The star at the center of the solar system does more than provide light and warmth. It also acts as the most powerful particle accelerator in the neighborhood, whipping electrons to near-light speed ...

Solar Orbiter has identified the Sun’s dual “engines” for superfast electrons: explosive flares and sweeping coronal mass ejections. By catching over 300 events close to their origin, the mission has ...

Commonly seen velocity dispersion feature is marked with blue circles in lower energy range observed by Solar Orbiter, while the onset of inverse velocity particles is indicated with orange triangles ...

In a dramatic escalation of solar activity, the sun has unleashed an X8.3 flare — 2026’s strongest yet — causing radio blackouts as scientists monitor Earth-directed CMEs ...

Close to the sun, the solar wind, a steady stream of charged particles, accelerates until it cannot turn back. During a record pass about 3.8 million miles above the surface, Parker Solar Probe ...

Solar Orbiter observed more than 300 bursts of ‘Solar Energetic Electrons’ between November 2020 and December 2022. For the first time, we clearly see the connection between the energetic electrons in ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

Please join the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology on Thursday, March 27, at 11am for a virtual seminar by Jamie S. Rankin, "Survey of Energetic Particles Viewed by Parker Solar Probe." ...
